Not Living In Oz, But One Of The Other Colonies

[stilettoman]

I have been an RB20 owner for about 18 months, spent a lot of time reading on the forums, and the most knowledgeable people ( who speak English) seem to be in Oz. Got a couple of issues with the RB20, and eventually would like some help sorting out. But for now, I just want to know if you are trying to keep it to Australia owners only? My RB20 powered 1984 RX-7 is, I suspect, pretty unique. Seems like a perfect fit for the car,just the right power for a 2500 pound curb weight, and I am getting really excellent fuel mileage. I hated the cluttered look of the Skyline engine compartment, so I relocated the throttle body, blowoff valve and ignition module, and recently the PCV fittings. I also came up with a solution to the problem of the coil packs having to live with all the heat below that solid cover. Thought some of your owners might like to see how I solved that problem. Photos if you scroll to the bottom of this page: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3936025/1984-mazda-rx-7/ I recently bought another RB20 front clip and I am planning a much more ambitious project in the next few months. But I am in Seattle, and don't want to intrude if you are trying to be exclusive to Australia.

My original post gives the URL for my Cardomain page, which has photos and details of the build process - here it is again: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3936025/1984-mazda-rx-7/

The perforated metal I used for the coil pack cover can be expensive from normal sources - I bought a door from a server cabinet, scrap price from a computer recycler.

Some of you might enjoy this video of a recent project I designed and built:
